NOTE FROM THE CEO
This month I have some good news and some not so good news.
Let’s start with the good news first. We have two new providers joining our network; Karen Morrow, FNP is a nurse practitioner, who specializes in family and pediatric medicine. She joins us from Crescent City where she has an established practice.
Greg Tjossem, MD is a Family Practice doctor joining us from Iowa. Both will start in January and provide much needed capacity in Brookings.
monthly health tips
How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Our alarm clocks jolt us awake before the sun is up in the mornings, and parents and children alike often do not find themselves drifting off to sleep until late into the night. Many high school students and their parents stumble out the door each morning with only 5 or 6 hours of sleep to get them through the day. They are bleary-eyed and only partially coherent. But that’s what coffee is for, right? Wrong.
Coumadin Clinic
Since 1999, Curry County patients taking a blood-thinning medication known as Coumadin have had the convenience of monitoring their blood close to home without having to wait two or three days for the results.
The Curry General Hospital Health Network offers Coumadin monitoring in three locations:
- Curry Medical Center, 500 Fifth St, Brookings, 541-412-9800
- Curry General Hospital, 94220 Fourth St, Gold Beach, 541-247-3000
- Curry Family Medical, 525 Madrona, Port Orford, 541-332-3861
Please phone ahead to make your appointment. We are pleased to serve you.
